Why would specifically YOUR orca get ganked, while others get out safely?


Is this a 'How did the chicken cross the road?' question?

I don't think there is some epidemic of Orca ganking in Jita. That said, put a damage control 2 and reinforced bulkheads 2 in the lows. Don't pack your life savings into it and you'll be fine. When you get where you are going take the DC2 and reinforced bulkheads out and say to yourself, "Only someone who wants his Orca ganked would ever take these out," and then put them right back in.

Also, Jita is a terrible place. Don't go there any more.

I'm just not seeing any Orcas dying in Jita, and the few that are killed in trade hubs aren't being ganked.
So my advice for getting it out of Jita would be, don't fly it during a war or accept any duel requests.

Who put the goat in there?

Right in front of the 4-4 undock is a big moon.
Undock in a shuttle, warp to the moon make a bm somewhere on the way between 4-4 and the moon.
Use that to insta undock out of the clutter that is 4-4.

If your corpies sound like:"Ooh ahh oh noes don't go to Jita/Low/Null you will be gank by bad guise!" AND they don't know how insta-undock bookmarks work, then they are terrible and you need a new corp.

Jita is harmless, unless you lack insta-undocks and are at war. Think of it from the gankers perspective. Would it be profitable to gank you? Granted sometimes you get ganked for the lulz.
Like people have said, fit a Damage Control II, reinforced bulkhead II and don't haul 9 digits worth of stuff.
Buy a fast Frigate, for example an Executioner, a Condor, Slasher or Atron, fit a MWD and undock. Burn straight out for about 200 km or until you're off grid, create a bookmark, and when you undock, immediately rightclick the bookmark and warp to it. If you're new to creating insta-undocks, it might take a few trial runs but some day you'll thank yourself you took the time to create them.
And lastly, if you're afraid you will get ganked on gates, what you can do is ask a corpmate you "trust" to travel with you in a webbing ship, and web you to make you align and warp faster. (make him web you once you hit about 50% speed and you will go to warp).

Park it in a station nearby, rent a hauler, and make many trips. Rent = buy, use, and sell at a loss.

I suggest you move it before someone in GD thinks it would be funny to dec your corp and camp Jita.

Speaking of, please visit www.minerbumping.com and ensure that your corp is Code compliant. If not, you should suggest they get things taken care of pronto.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.
